Francisco Costa sent out another fabulous collection for Calvin Klein. Costa said he had been inspired by Ferne Jacobs, a Los Angeles-based artist who creates fibreworks or small tabletop sculptures.

That would explain the organic shapes of the dresses, all of which hung loose from the shoulder, with a curved hem, bell shaped skirt.

A puff-sleeved poplin frock curved around the shoulders like a shrug, making it look as though the Pillsbury Doughboy was embracing the model.

A droopy gray knit coat was slimmer on top with an undulating wave pattern at the hip and fingertip grazing sleeves, as if it had been pulled out the wash and hung to dry, or was melting in the heat of a particularly humid day.

Costa employed many textile tricks cause fabric manipulation being one of his main loves. We particularly liked a series of silk and mohair jacquard pieces that had a casual, weightless appeal and appeared, from a distance, to have been charred.

Elsewhere, tank dresses were ruched draped, gathered and woven – and one standout shift was pleated to resemble waves cresting all over the model’s body.
